Good morning!
Thanks for starting the thread, lennon!
I decided not to shop today, mostly because I want to call the pharmacy as soon as they open and get that taken care of, partly because they changed the forecast for today to a high of 70 degrees! I would rather walk on a cooler morning.
Plus, I had another night of bad sleep, but this time it was because it feels like I have an earache brewing. I've had this a couple of times before, where my face starts hurting and then I feel pressure in my ear, and even soreness in my throat on the same side. The other times it went away after half a day, this time it's still here this morning. I'm hoping it goes away and I don't end up at the urgent care clinic. When I was awake in the middle of the night I also was irritated all over again about the pharmacy, so I need to get it resolved today so I can let it go.
Tomorrow is supposed to be even warmer than today. I saw another large fly on the window screen yesterday, I really hope the bees don't start hatching and die in the cold that is sure to come later.

Good morning everyone!
I was up on time, showered including washing and drying my hair and I was still 20 mins early to work! Laying out my outfits at night helped. And I must have hit that "sweet spot" in the morning traffic.
I was busy over the weekend. I feel like I did a lot but it doesnt look like i accomplished a lot. I am working hard on PUPA and finding the appropriate homes for things. Once the home is found - things look better. The Glam room is looking better - more freed up space - but things are temporarily clogging up access so while it looks better - it isnt any easier to navigate around.
My neighbor gave me several bags of bottles and cans to turn in for church. they use the money to send care packages to college kids. I bagged them up and put the # of bottles on each bag. It makes it easier to turn them in to the local redemption center that pays 6cents instead of the nickle. It adds up. I will deliver those over lunch and I will drop mail off at my DD's house.
Tonight I help my mom shower and I change her sheets. So when I get home I will focus on bagging up the items to donate that are clogging up the top of the stairs.
I bought a menu planner calendar that displays the week. I am tracking food in the fridge as well as planned meals. It helped last week as I did not throw out any of my food - It all got eaten. I might track some weekly decluttering activities on it as well. I do have a goal of washing bedding on weds or thursday (flipping my mattress at the same time).
This weekend I managed to: redo a small terrarium my mom made into a larger jar. Pick up meds for my mom visited my dad twice Brought my mom to visit my dad I emptied some things from the car right into the trash/recycle bin and cleared off the front seat two loads of laundry washed and dried and put away My mom's items need to be ironed and returned to her wiped down the upstairs bathroom went to the grocery store for three items and walked out with only those three items emptied a tall ladder shelf and found new homes for everything. I will use that shelf elsewhere. I went to the ALF and helped the residents with a craft. it was fun.
I know i did more - I will eventually remember

Good morning everypony!
ohblondie you've been getting a LOT done lately. as usual, actually!
Diane I'm frustrated about a medication. can't call the pharmacy to see if it is in stock without a prescription. pharmacy waiting for board to write up guidelines. can't even be ordered yet. because its a schedule two, pharmacy cannot transfer. doctor has to call it in. there is a shortage, because raw materials are regulated. release is based on current use. however, manufacturers are reluctant to order unless they know they are in stock. you can see where this is going. and its been going on for a year.
DONE: made decaf made half caf updated log
checked emails fell back to sleep made bed
selected outfit washed up and got dressed put clean dishes away emptied compost bucket and dug that into the compost bin took meds flipped laundry hang three more pieces of art put DVD's tools away
called re: medication
NEXT UP: continue to hook up autopayment accts - locate ins number
- call power co
- check spreadsheet

Well my day is almost over - for my paid work day that is. I have to stop at a dollar tree on the way home. they have some nice baskets that I have been using to organize my shelves. the store I went to over lunch only had white and not gray. I was finally able to get the parmesan cheese that my mother's friend likes. I have decided to make sloppy joes for supper. I have some leftover rolls that I will split open and lay flat in a baking dish. I will pour the sloppy joe stuff over the rolls and top with some cheese. and bake. The only thing I need to get is ground turkey. I am working on two technical documents. One is a help guide and the other is a power point for training. I am almost done! Such a funny thing happened this morning. Have any of you shopped online at Temu? I have gotten a few things from them. They have a feature that when you place an order, you can click on additional items to be added to your order. Well I ordered something for work - some St Patricks day ornaments for our year round tree that were on clearance. After I placed my order my phone slipped from my hands. In the process of trying to catch it - and fumbling-I must have hit that "add to my order" button and I believe I ordered a cheap sweatshirt. .... I can always pass it along ot one of the girls. I returned the bottles over lunch. 5 bags worth. Having them all counted out helped. $10.50. I wait til I have 5 or so bags, to make it worthwhile. time to go

its been going on for a year.
For a year?? Oh scholar, I would have pulled out all the hair on my head by now! I hope it doesn't go on much longer.
In the process of trying to catch it - and fumbling-I must have hit that "add to my order" button
Ohblondie, that's funny--just what we need, another way for things to go wrong online! I hope you like the sweatshirt!
I just got off the phone with my shopping friend--we must have talked for over an hour.

We have another huge project this week, and another huge project due in two weeks, and two more huge meetings to lead this week. ugh. I was telling my friend about my job and she said wow you have a grown up job!
I was early for work today as the big meeting one was first thing. both meetings went well

I am stressed - I have a biz trip that I'd like to go on and I managed to find boarding for puppy but have struck out with three people to tend to the cats. hope I can figure it out!
right now I am ready for a nap but I'll be out with puppy. our walk will be in daylight and it is warm in the 40s F!
